Comrade A. II. Thompson of Lawton, who
has been spending the winter mt the National
Military home in Ohio, made us pleasant
call on Saturday last. Joe, as be is familiarly
called, is sure of a hearty welcome whenever

On Saturday last, the weather clerk showed

Paw Paw has blacksmith who, even
though he may not be a champion shoe
turner, is good workman, good fellow and
possesses large fund of quiet humor. A
while ago he made a dicker with a certain
man to set the shoes on span of horses in
exchange for cord of wood. The man
hauled the wood which, on being piled,
measured just seven n-eighths of a cord. "Oh,
near enough" Our blacksmith made no
reply, but went to his shop and began his shoe
setting. After he had set seven snoes, he quit
the job and commenced work at something
else. "Hold on there: amt you going to set that
other shoep" said the farmer. "Oh, never mind,
that's near enough" was Macs reply. (We
didn't mean to give him away but never
mind. that's near enough.) "What do you
mean?" asked the wood man. Nothing,
only that the setting of seven shoes is full
payment for seven-eighths of cord of
wood" was the response. Mac got pay for
setting the other shoe.

solve restraining order in the nature of a
temporary injunction, in the case of Chas. +. .
Young vs. the Il. IL s. II. II. X. Co., the p. p.
r. X. Co. and the Farmers Loan and Trust
Co. The facts of the case as we have gath
cred them are briefly as follows: Mr.. Young,
a stockhoder of the p. p. Il. X. Co., as com
plainant, filed his bill of complaint and
obtained an order restraining the Il. Il S. III.
X. X. from negotiating through the Farmers
Loan and Trust CO., its bonds for obtaining
money with which to build the Hartford and
South Haven extension, and the motion
| argued was for a dissolution of such order
Meanwhile the company has obtained money
| from some source and the new road is being
rapidly built. Just what would be the result
if the motion shall be denied, we are unable
to state. In any event, it will in no wise
interfere with the construction of the new
road between South Haven and Hartford
The motion was argued by counsel from
Chicago and this village on behalf of the
road and by Kalamazoo and Paw Paw coun-
sci for Mr.. Young. The court did not decide
the matter, but took it under advisement.

Having visited Adrian. the headquarters OF
the Michigan Hedge Company, to investigate
their business, / would say that / am salts
fed that nothing but honest and skillful
work can produce the results which l wit
messed oR the FARMS and establish the repu-
tation the company susteins. OF their re-
sponsibility there is no doubt. and their
work is FIRST class. L visited hedges over
twenty years old which have been treated by
the company. and examined large amount
of their one and two year old work. l can
cheerfully add my testimony to that of the
many who have investigated their word and
standing and recommend them TO the farm
ing community as hedge growers, and can
say that their system. in my judgment, is
missing link long needed in the construction
of hedges and necessary TO the completion of
perfect fence, and find that the statements
of their agent. Mr.. Sherrod are fully borne
out 10y the facts. In fact. the county super
intendents of the poor for the county of Van
Buren, are so well pleased with the Michigan
Hedge Company s fence and its practicability,
cheapness and durability, that they have
decided to have the county poor farm fenced
with this hedge. and have given Mr.. Sherrod,
local agent for the Michigan Hedge Com
pany, an order for it.
